DESCRIPTION
       This command implements a generic SSL/TLS server which listens for connections on a given
       port using SSL/TLS.

OPTIONS
       In addition to the options below, this command also supports the common and server only
       options documented "Supported Command Line Commands" in SSL_CONF_cmd(3)

       -help
           Print out a usage message.

       -port +int
           The TCP port to listen on for connections. If not specified 4433 is used.

       -accept val
           The  optional TCP host and port to listen on for connections. If not specified, *:4433 is
           used.

       -unix val
           Unix domain socket to accept on.

       -4  Use IPv4 only.

       -6  Use IPv6 only.

       -unlink
           For -unix, unlink any existing socket first.

       -context val
           Sets the SSL context id. It can be given any string value. If this option is not  present
           a default value will be used.

       -verify int, -Verify int
           The  verify  depth  to  use.  This specifies the maximum length of the client certificate
           chain and makes the server request a certificate from the client. With the -verify option
           a certificate is requested but the client does not have to send  one,  with  the  -Verify
           option the client must supply a certificate or an error occurs.

           If  the cipher suite cannot request a client certificate (for example an anonymous cipher
           suite or PSK) this option has no effect.

       -cert infile
           The certificate to use, most servers cipher suites require the use of a  certificate  and
           some  require  a  certificate  with a certain public key type: for example the DSS cipher
           suites require a certificate containing a DSS  (DSA)  key.  If  not  specified  then  the
           filename server.pem will be used.

       -cert2 infile
           The certificate file to use for servername; default is "server2.pem".

       -certform DER|PEM|P12
           The     server    certificate    file    format;    unspecified    by    default.     See
           openssl-format-options(1) for details.

       -cert_chain
           A file or URI of untrusted certificates to use when attempting to build  the  certificate
           chain  related  to  the  certificate specified via the -cert option.  The input can be in
           PEM, DER, or PKCS#12 format.

       -build_chain
           Specify whether the application should build the server certificate chain to be  provided
           to the client.

       -serverinfo val
           A  file  containing  one  or  more  blocks of PEM data.  Each PEM block must encode a TLS
           ServerHello extension (2 bytes type, 2  bytes  length,  followed  by  "length"  bytes  of
           extension  data).   If  the  client sends an empty TLS ClientHello extension matching the
           type, the corresponding ServerHello extension will be returned.

       -key filename|uri
           The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will be used.

       -key2 filename|uri
           The private Key file to use for servername if not given via -cert2.

       -keyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE
           The key format; unspecified by default.  See openssl-format-options(1) for details.

       -pass val
           The private key and certificate file password source.  For  more  information  about  the
           format of val, see openssl-passphrase-options(1).

       -dcert infile, -dkey filename|uri
           Specify an additional certificate and private key, these behave in the same manner as the
           -cert  and  -key  options  except  there  is  no  default  if  they are not specified (no
           additional certificate and key is used). As noted above  some  cipher  suites  require  a
           certificate  containing  a  key  of a certain type. Some cipher suites need a certificate
           carrying an RSA key and some a DSS (DSA) key. By using RSA and DSS certificates and  keys
           a  server  can  support  clients  which only support RSA or DSS cipher suites by using an
           appropriate certificate.

       -dcert_chain
           A file or URI of untrusted certificates to  use  when  attempting  to  build  the  server
           certificate  chain  when  a  certificate  specified via the -dcert option is in use.  The
           input can be in PEM, DER, or PKCS#12 format.

       -dcertform DER|PEM|P12
           The  format  of  the  additional  certificate  file;   unspecified   by   default.    See
           openssl-format-options(1) for details.

       -dkeyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE
           The   format   of   the   additional   private   key;   unspecified   by   default.   See
           openssl-format-options(1) for details.

       -dpass val
           The passphrase for the additional private key  and  certificate.   For  more  information
           about the format of val, see openssl-passphrase-options(1).

       -nbio_test
           Tests non blocking I/O.

       -crlf
           This option translated a line feed from the terminal into CR+LF.

       -debug
           Print extensive debugging information including a hex dump of all traffic.

       -security_debug
           Print output from SSL/TLS security framework.

       -security_debug_verbose
           Print more output from SSL/TLS security framework

       -msg
           Show all protocol messages with hex dump.

       -msgfile outfile
           File to send output of -msg or -trace to, default standard output.

       -state
           Prints the SSL session states.

       -CRL infile
           The CRL file to use.

       -CRLform DER|PEM
           The CRL file format; unspecified by default.  See openssl-format-options(1) for details.

       -crl_download
           Download CRLs from distribution points given in CDP extensions of certificates

       -verifyCAfile filename
           A  file  in  PEM  format  CA  containing trusted certificates to use for verifying client
           certificates.

       -verifyCApath dir
           A directory containing trusted certificates to use  for  verifying  client  certificates.
           This directory must be in "hash format", see openssl-verify(1) for more information.

       -verifyCAstore uri
           The  URI  of  a  store  containing  trusted  certificates  to  use  for  verifying client
           certificates.

       -chainCAfile file
           A file in PEM format containing trusted certificates to use when attempting to build  the
           server certificate chain.

       -chainCApath dir
           A  directory  containing  trusted certificates to use for building the server certificate
           chain  provided  to  the  client.   This  directory  must  be  in  "hash   format",   see
           openssl-verify(1) for more information.

       -chainCAstore uri
           The  URI  of  a  store  containing  trusted  certificates  to use for building the server
           certificate chain provided to the client.  The URI may indicate a single certificate,  as
           well as a collection of them.  With URIs in the "file:" scheme, this acts as -chainCAfile
           or  -chainCApath,  depending  on  if the URI indicates a directory or a single file.  See
           ossl_store-file(7) for more information on the "file:" scheme.

       -nocert
           If this option is set then no certificate is  used.  This  restricts  the  cipher  suites
           available to the anonymous ones (currently just anonymous DH).

       -quiet
           Inhibit printing of session and certificate information.

       -no_resume_ephemeral
           Disable caching and tickets if ephemeral (EC)DH is used.

       -tlsextdebug
           Print a hex dump of any TLS extensions received from the server.

       -www
           Sends  a  status  message  back to the client when it connects. This includes information
           about the ciphers used and various session parameters.  The output is in HTML  format  so
           this option can be used with a web browser.  The special URL "/renegcert" turns on client
           cert validation, and "/reneg" tells the server to request renegotiation.  The -early_data
           option cannot be used with this option.

       -WWW, -HTTP
           Emulates  a  simple web server. Pages will be resolved relative to the current directory,
           for example if the URL "https://myhost/page.html" is requested the file ./page.html  will
           be  sent.  If the -HTTP flag is used, the files are sent directly, and should contain any
           HTTP response headers (including status response line).  If the -WWW option is used,  the
           response  headers  are  generated  by  the  server, and the file extension is examined to
           determine  the  Content-Type  header.   Extensions  of  "html",  "htm",  and  "php"   are
           "text/html"  and all others are "text/plain".  In addition, the special URL "/stats" will
           return status information like the -www option.  Neither of these options can be used  in
           conjunction with -early_data.

       -http_server_binmode
           When acting as web-server (using option -WWW or -HTTP) open files requested by the client
           in binary mode.

       -no_ca_names
           Disable  TLS  Extension  CA Names. You may want to disable it for security reasons or for
           compatibility with some Windows TLS  implementations  crashing  when  this  extension  is
           larger than 1024 bytes.

       -ignore_unexpected_eof
           Some TLS implementations do not send the mandatory close_notify alert on shutdown. If the
           application  tries  to wait for the close_notify alert but the peer closes the connection
           without sending it, an error is generated. When this option is enabled the peer does  not
           need  to  send  the  close_notify alert and a closed connection will be treated as if the
           close_notify alert was received.  For more information on shutting down a connection, see
           SSL_shutdown(3).

       -servername
           Servername for HostName TLS extension.

       -servername_fatal
           On servername mismatch send fatal alert (default: warning alert).

       -id_prefix val
           Generate SSL/TLS session IDs prefixed by val. This  is  mostly  useful  for  testing  any
           SSL/TLS  code  (e.g. proxies) that wish to deal with multiple servers, when each of which
           might be generating a unique range of session IDs (e.g. with a certain prefix).

       -keymatexport
           Export keying material using label.

       -keymatexportlen
           Export the given number of bytes of keying material; default 20.

       -no_cache
           Disable session cache.

       -ext_cache.
           Disable internal cache, set up and use external cache.

       -verify_return_error
           Verification errors normally just print a message but allow the connection  to  continue,
           for  debugging  purposes.   If  this  option  is used, then verification errors close the
           connection.

       -verify_quiet
           No verify output except verify errors.

       -ign_eof
           Ignore input EOF (default: when -quiet).

       -no_ign_eof
           Do not ignore input EOF.

       -no_etm
           Disable Encrypt-then-MAC negotiation.

       -status
           Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling).

       -status_verbose
           Enables certificate status request support  (aka  OCSP  stapling)  and  gives  a  verbose
           printout of the OCSP response.

       -status_timeout int
           Sets the timeout for OCSP response to int seconds.

       -proxy [http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path]
           The  HTTP(S)  proxy  server to use for reaching the OCSP server unless -no_proxy applies,
           see below.  The proxy port defaults to 80 or 443 if the scheme  is  "https";  apart  from
           that  the optional "http://" or "https://" prefix is ignored, as well as any userinfo and
           path components.   Defaults  to  the  environment  variable  "http_proxy"  if  set,  else
           "HTTP_PROXY" in case no TLS is used, otherwise "https_proxy" if set, else "HTTPS_PROXY".

       -no_proxy addresses
           List  of  IP  addresses  and/or  DNS  names  of  servers not to use an HTTP(S) proxy for,
           separated by commas and/or whitespace (where in the latter case the whole  argument  must
           be  enclosed in "...").  Default is from the environment variable "no_proxy" if set, else
           "NO_PROXY".

       -status_url val
           Sets a fallback responder URL to use if  no  responder  URL  is  present  in  the  server
           certificate.  Without this option an error is returned if the server certificate does not
           contain a responder address.  The optional  userinfo  and  fragment  URL  components  are
           ignored.  Any given query component is handled as part of the path component.

       -status_file infile
           Overrides  any  OCSP  responder  URLs  from  the certificate and always provides the OCSP
           Response stored in the file. The file must be in DER format.

       -ssl_config val
           Configure SSL_CTX using the given configuration value.

       -trace
           Show verbose trace output of protocol messages.

       -brief
           Provide a brief summary of connection parameters instead of the normal verbose output.

       -rev
           Simple echo server that sends back received text reversed. Also sets -brief.   Cannot  be
           used in conjunction with -early_data.

       -async
           Switch  on  asynchronous mode. Cryptographic operations will be performed asynchronously.
           This will only have an effect if an asynchronous capable engine  is  also  used  via  the
           -engine  option.  For  test  purposes  the  dummy  async  engine (dasync) can be used (if
           available).

       -max_send_frag +int
           The maximum size of data fragment  to  send.   See  SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment(3)  for
           further information.

       -split_send_frag +int
           The size used to split data for encrypt pipelines. If more data is written in one go than
           this  value  then  it  will be split into multiple pipelines, up to the maximum number of
           pipelines defined by max_pipelines. This only has an effect if a  suitable  cipher  suite
           has   been   negotiated,  an  engine  that  supports  pipelining  has  been  loaded,  and
           max_pipelines is greater  than  1.  See  SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3)  for  further
           information.

       -max_pipelines +int
           The maximum number of encrypt/decrypt pipelines to be used. This will only have an effect
           if  an  engine  has  been  loaded that supports pipelining (e.g. the dasync engine) and a
           suitable  cipher  suite  has  been   negotiated.   The   default   value   is   1.    See
           SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3) for further information.

       -naccept +int
           The  server  will  exit  after  receiving  the  specified  number of connections, default
           unlimited.

       -read_buf +int
           The default read buffer size to be used for connections. This will only have an effect if
           the buffer size is larger than the size that would otherwise be used and pipelining is in
           use (see SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3) for further information).

       -bugs
           There are several known bugs in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this  option  enables
           various workarounds.

       -no_comp
           Disable negotiation of TLS compression.  TLS compression is not recommended and is off by
           default as of OpenSSL 1.1.0.

       -comp
           Enable negotiation of TLS compression.  This option was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.  TLS
           compression is not recommended and is off by default as of OpenSSL 1.1.0.

       -no_ticket
           Disable  RFC4507bis  session  ticket  support.  This  option  has no effect if TLSv1.3 is
           negotiated. See -num_tickets.

       -num_tickets
           Control the number of tickets that will be sent to the client after a full  handshake  in
           TLSv1.3.  The  default  number of tickets is 2. This option does not affect the number of
           tickets sent after a resumption handshake.

       -serverpref
           Use the server's cipher preferences, rather than the client's preferences.

       -prioritize_chacha
           Prioritize ChaCha ciphers when preferred by clients. Requires -serverpref.

       -no_resumption_on_reneg
           Set the SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION option.

       -client_sigalgs val
           Signature algorithms to support for client  certificate  authentication  (colon-separated
           list).

       -named_curve val
           Specifies  the elliptic curve to use. NOTE: this is single curve, not a list.  For a list
           of all possible curves, use:

               $ openssl ecparam -list_curves

       -cipher val
           This allows the list of TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites used by the server to be modified.
           This list is combined with any TLSv1.3 ciphersuites that have been configured.  When  the
           client  sends  a  list  of supported ciphers the first client cipher also included in the
           server list is used. Because the client specifies the preference order, the order of  the
           server cipherlist is irrelevant. See openssl-ciphers(1) for more information.

       -ciphersuites val
           This  allows  the  list  of TLSv1.3 ciphersuites used by the server to be modified.  This
           list is combined with any TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites that have been configured.  When
           the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client cipher also included in the
           server  list is used. Because the client specifies the preference order, the order of the
           server cipherlist is irrelevant. See openssl-ciphers(1) command for more information. The
           format for this list is a simple colon (":") separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names.

       -dhparam infile
           The DH parameter file to use. The ephemeral DH cipher suites generate keys using a set of
           DH parameters. If not specified then an attempt is made to load the parameters  from  the
           server  certificate  file.  If this fails then a static set of parameters hard coded into
           this command will be used.

       -nbio
           Turns on non blocking I/O.

       -timeout
           Enable timeouts.

       -mtu
           Set link-layer MTU.

       -psk_identity val
           Expect the client to send PSK identity val when using a PSK cipher  suite,  and  warn  if
           they do not.  By default, the expected PSK identity is the string "Client_identity".

       -psk_hint val
           Use the PSK identity hint val when using a PSK cipher suite.

       -psk val
           Use  the  PSK  key  val  when using a PSK cipher suite. The key is given as a hexadecimal
           number without leading 0x, for example -psk 1a2b3c4d.  This option must  be  provided  in
           order to use a PSK cipher.

       -psk_session file
           Use  the  pem  encoded  SSL_SESSION data stored in file as the basis of a PSK.  Note that
           this will only work if TLSv1.3 is negotiated.

       -srpvfile
           The verifier file for SRP.  This option is deprecated.

       -srpuserseed
           A seed string for a default user salt.  This option is deprecated.

       -listen
           This option can only be used in conjunction with one of the  DTLS  options  above.   With
           this  option,  this  command  will  listen  on  a UDP port for incoming connections.  Any
           ClientHellos that arrive will be checked to see if they have a cookie  in  them  or  not.
           Any  without  a  cookie will be responded to with a HelloVerifyRequest.  If a ClientHello
           with a cookie is received then this command will connect to that peer  and  complete  the
           handshake.

       -sctp
           Use  SCTP  for the transport protocol instead of UDP in DTLS. Must be used in conjunction
           with -dtls, -dtls1 or -dtls1_2. This option is only available where OpenSSL  has  support
           for SCTP enabled.

       -sctp_label_bug
           Use the incorrect behaviour of older OpenSSL implementations when computing endpoint-pair
           shared secrets for DTLS/SCTP. This allows communication with older broken implementations
           but  breaks  interoperability  with  correct implementations. Must be used in conjunction
           with -sctp. This option is only available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.

       -use_srtp
           Offer SRTP key management with a colon-separated profile list.

       -no_dhe
           If this option is set then no DH parameters will  be  loaded  effectively  disabling  the
           ephemeral DH cipher suites.

       -alpn val, -nextprotoneg val
           These   flags   enable  the  Application-Layer  Protocol  Negotiation  or  Next  Protocol
           Negotiation (NPN) extension, respectively. ALPN is the IETF standard  and  replaces  NPN.
           The  val  list  is  a  comma-separated list of supported protocol names.  The list should
           contain the most desirable protocols first.  Protocol names are printable ASCII  strings,
           for  example  "http/1.1"  or  "spdy/3".   The  flag  -nextprotoneg cannot be specified if
           -tls1_3 is used.

       -sendfile
           If this option is set and KTLS  is  enabled,  SSL_sendfile()  will  be  used  instead  of
           BIO_write()  to  send the HTTP response requested by a client.  This option is only valid
           if -WWW or -HTTP is specified.

       -keylogfile outfile
           Appends TLS secrets to the specified  keylog  file  such  that  external  programs  (like
           Wireshark) can decrypt TLS connections.

       -max_early_data int
           Change  the  default maximum early data bytes that are specified for new sessions and any
           incoming early data (when used in conjunction with the  -early_data  flag).  The  default
           value is approximately 16k. The argument must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.

       -recv_max_early_data int
           Specify the hard limit on the maximum number of early data bytes that will be accepted.

       -early_data
           Accept early data where possible. Cannot be used in conjunction with -www, -WWW, -HTTP or
           -rev.

       -stateless
           Require TLSv1.3 cookies.

       -anti_replay, -no_anti_replay
           Switches  replay  protection  on or off, respectively. Replay protection is on by default
           unless overridden by a configuration file. When it  is  on,  OpenSSL  will  automatically
           detect if a session ticket has been used more than once, TLSv1.3 has been negotiated, and
           early  data  is  enabled on the server. A full handshake is forced if a session ticket is
           used a second or subsequent time. Any early data that was sent will be rejected.

       -nameopt option
           This   specifies   how   the   subject   or   issuer   names    are    displayed.     See
           openssl-namedisplay-options(1) for details.

       -no_ssl3, -no_tls1, -no_tls1_1, -no_tls1_2, -no_tls1_3, -ssl3, -tls1, -tls1_1, -tls1_2,
       -tls1_3
           See "TLS Version Options" in openssl(1).

       -dtls, -dtls1, -dtls1_2
           These specify the use of DTLS instead of TLS.  See "TLS Version Options" in openssl(1).

       -xkey infile, -xcert file, -xchain file, -xchain_build file, -xcertform DER|PEM, -xkeyform
       DER|PEM
           Set  extended  certificate  verification options.  See "Extended Verification Options" in
           openssl-verification-options(1) for details.

       -CAfile file, -no-CAfile, -CApath dir, -no-CApath, -CAstore uri, -no-CAstore
           See "Trusted Certificate Options" in openssl-verification-options(1) for details.

       -rand files, -writerand file
           See "Random State Options" in openssl(1) for details.

       -engine id
           See "Engine Options" in openssl(1).  This option is deprecated.

       -provider name
       -provider-path path
       -propquery propq
           See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).

       -verify_email, -verify_hostname, -verify_ip, -verify_name, -x509_strict -issuer_checks
           Set various options of certificate chain verification.   See  "Verification  Options"  in
           openssl-verification-options(1) for details.

           If  the server requests a client certificate, then verification errors are displayed, for
           debugging, but the command will proceed unless the -verify_return_error option is used.

CONNECTED COMMANDS
       If a connection request is established with an SSL client and neither the -www nor  the  -WWW
       option has been used then normally any data received from the client is displayed and any key
       presses will be sent to the client.

       Certain  commands  are also recognized which perform special operations. These commands are a
       letter which must appear at the start of a line. They are listed below.

       q   End the current SSL connection but still accept new connections.

       Q   End the current SSL connection and exit.

       r   Renegotiate the SSL session (TLSv1.2 and below only).

       R   Renegotiate the SSL session and request a client certificate (TLSv1.2 and below only).

       P   Send some plain text down the underlying TCP connection: this should cause the client  to
           disconnect due to a protocol violation.

       S   Print out some session cache status information.

       k   Send a key update message to the client (TLSv1.3 only)

       K   Send a key update message to the client and request one back (TLSv1.3 only)

       c   Send a certificate request to the client (TLSv1.3 only)

NOTES
       This  command  can be used to debug SSL clients. To accept connections from a web browser the
       command:

        openssl s_server -accept 443 -www

       can be used for example.

       Although specifying an empty list of CAs when requesting a  client  certificate  is  strictly
       speaking  a protocol violation, some SSL clients interpret this to mean any CA is acceptable.
       This is useful for debugging purposes.

       The session parameters can printed out using the openssl-sess_id(1) command.

BUGS
       Because this program has a lot of options and also because some of the  techniques  used  are
       rather  old,  the  C  source  for  this command is rather hard to read and not a model of how
       things should be done.  A typical SSL server program would be much simpler.

       The output of common ciphers is wrong: it  just  gives  the  list  of  ciphers  that  OpenSSL
       recognizes and the client supports.

       There  should  be  a way for this command to print out details of any unknown cipher suites a
       client says it supports.
